Residents’ unpaid bills leaves Kadoma on brink

KADOMA City Council is struggling to provide essential services to its residents due to a US$24 699 030 million owed by ratepayers from January to August this year, NewsDay can report.

The council’s collection efficiency is currently between 30% and 36%, which is insufficient to address the city’s service delivery challenges.

According to Kadoma mayor Nigel Ruzario, failure to pay is largely due to the council’s inability to provide expected services.
